No, the bony callus is primarily composed of spongy (cancellous) bone. It forms during the healing process of a bone fracture and helps stabilize and repair the bone. The bony callus eventually remodels into compact bone over time.
The formation of the bony callus in fracture repair is followed by remodeling. During remodeling, the bony callus is gradually replaced by mature bone tissue, restoring the shape and strength of the fractured bone. This process can take several weeks to months to complete.

The order of stages of bone fracture healing is formation of a hematoma, formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, formation of a bony callus, and, finally, bone remodeling.
A humeral calcium callus refers to the bony tissue that forms during the healing process of a fracture in the humerus, which is the bone of the upper arm. When a fracture occurs, the body initiates a healing response that includes the formation of a soft callus followed by a hard callus, which is rich in calcium. This hard callus provides stability and support to the broken bone as it heals. The presence of a calcium callus indicates that the bone is in the process of healing and strengthening.
Following the formation of the bony callus in fracture repair, the next phase involves the remodeling of the callus into a stronger, more organized bone structure. This process can take several months to years, during which the callus is gradually replaced by compact bone, and the bone returns to its original shape and strength. Additionally, the surrounding muscles and tissues may also adapt to support the healed bone. Overall, the remodeling phase is crucial for restoring the functionality and integrity of the bone.
Reparitive phase - 2nd phase of bone healing
A cartilaginous callus is a temporary, fibrocartilaginous tissue that forms at the site of a bone fracture during the healing process. It serves as a bridge between the broken bone fragments, providing stability and support as the body begins to repair the injury. Over time, this callus is replaced by a bony callus as the healing progresses and the cartilage is gradually converted into bone. This process is crucial for restoring the integrity and strength of the fractured bone.
There are four stages in the repair of a broken bone: 1) the formation of hematoma at the break, 2) the formation of a fibrocartilaginous callus, 3) the formation of a bony callus, and 4) remodeling and addition of compact bone.
Actually it is usually stronger. The bony callus that forms after healing is thicker at that point although remodeling will continue to take place.
A plantar callus, a callus that occurs on the sole of the foot, has a white center.
